Chapter 5

Sky's POV

I looked down at the class schedule in my hands that carried the school's letterhead my locker number and timetable. I was supposed to have gotten the information last week, the school does this to avoid too many students crowding the office but I couldn't get mine because I got into town on Saturday.

Today marks the beginning of the senior year, soon high school will be all over. I'm not sure what I plan to do next but we'll see. It'll be a miracle if I'm able to survive the semester

"What do you have first and second period?" Ty asked

"History and Ap calc"

"Sh***t....your cousin's smart Ty....what happened to you" he laughed

Ty laughed, everyone knew that was a joke but Tyler didn't really care, he always said he wasn't one for rigorous reading he just wanted to shoot hoops.

It seemed everyone had different classes to attend for first period but since I was new Toby said She'll walk me to my history class since her literature class was in the same building.

Toby is Bash's long-term girlfriend, that is one thing I noticed about most of Ty's friends, they're in serious relationships and the ones that aren't are not playboys like I would've thought, they're actually kind of decent.

"Has anyone heard from Ace?" Luke, another one of Ty's friends asked "we were supposed to meet him out front this morning

Murmurs of 'no' and 'i don't think he's in school yet' went around the group. "well if anyone has a class with him you tell him that we have practice after school today and it's mandatory"

"Sky we'll see during lunch break," Tyler said walking away with his phone on his ear, I think trying to call Ace

'Ace must be the guy with the dark eyes'

Bidding Toby farewell I walked into my history class dropped my slip on the table and waited for the teacher to notice me

"You must be the new transfer student" he picked up my slip " Sky Baker"

He stood up and walked me to the front of the class

"Everyone....." The whole class became silent, he continued "a new student will be joining us today, introduce yourself, dear"

"Hi, I'm Sky Baker" and everyone stares at me expecting more. What do they want to hear exactly, how circumstances that were beyond my power brought me here or how no matter how much I speak I can never actually talk about the thing I'm supposed to talk about.....talking is overrated

I stare at the teacher waiting for him to tell me to take my seat

Probably reading what my eyes were saying he says "take a seat then"

I look around, not sure what I was looking for, I see a familiar face, I walk to the back and seat next to him

He stares, everyone stares at me then he opens his mouth to speak

"You have practice after school today" I interrupt

"Huh?" He stares into my eyes his stare startling me for a bit

I blink " Tyler has been trying to reach you, he said to tell you that you have practice after school today" I repeat

The teacher at the board was getting his notes ready

"You have a habit of interrupting me when I'm about to speak," he said staring into my eyes again

I avert my eyes, I've never been able to hold a person's eyes for so long and he seems to do it so effortlessly

"I'm Ace Reed," he says leaning back in his seat, I could feel his stare on my face "nice to officially meet you Sky Baker"

I looked at him and nodded

The class was over in a bit while packing my notes and preparing to move to the next class Ace begins "you don't speak much do you?"

I look up "I don't"

he paused for a bit "You have beautiful eyes" he murmured, I looked towards him again probably in shock, the only person that has ever described my eyes as beautiful was my mum. It has been described as weird, cool, even fake, and not like I'm wearing contacts but some people actually think I had surgery, I'm not even sure there's a type of surgery that changes the eye color, people can be crazy.

"Thank you," I said with a small voice trying to repress a smile and I think he caught it because he smiled too, and if I thought he was beautiful before looking at him now just makes him look otherworldly.

I was about to leave the class with Ace walking closely behind me when the teacher called me back

"Yes sir?" I answered while Ace waited for me by the door

"I noticed that some of the textbooks you used in your old school are one level lower than what we use here which means you might have to play catch up," he says "I'll have to assign you a tutor to help with that" he picked up a paper and began looking through it

He looked to the door at Ace who was on his phone

"Mr. Reed, what would you say to lending miss Baker your notes," he said reaching for a sheet of paper on his desk "most of our tutors are juggling more workload than they can handle but as soon as one spot frees up I'll be more than happy to get you a tutor," he says staring up at Ace from the paper

I didn't want a tutor, that would just be an unnecessary inconvenience

"I'd prefer Ace's notes and if I have any questions I can just ask him sir" the teacher looked at me through his glasses perched on his nose

"Mr. Reed??"

"Yh, that'd be great" Ace replied

Ace and I filed out of the classroom

"Thank you" I gave him an appreciative smile and went in the other direction, not really sure where I was going.

    "My parents never wanted me" Ace began softly. Talking about his parents was a topic he never ventured into, he put it in a strong box and locked it away. But he wanted her to know him, wanted her to know all of his demons, all his secrets. "Well they never wanted kids in general not just me" Ace sat with his back to the headboard of his bed, he could imagine his father with his dark eyes and his salt and pepper hair, everything he had physically he got from his father, his build, his eyes, his straight Greek nose except for the hair though he got that from his mother.'A diamond of the first water 'That is what his mother was. She had porcelain fair skin, a petite frame, and bright copper pen red hair that he took from her. She was a beauty, an epitome of elegance and wealth, both his parents were but they were also workaholics and unfit to raise a child."Do you guys talk" Sky asked'talk' Ace thought. they don't even know I exist. "My parents and I have no relationship whatsoever

  • Love simple, or is it?   Chapter 20

    The cold wind whipped around Sky in the dead of the night the only source of light being the moon that shone brightly in the sky. Tarred road stretch on for miles on either side of her as she moved forward not knowing where she was going, she could see nothing in front of her or around her.'Why didn't you save me a voice spoke behind her, she knew that voice, it was one she loved one she couldn't wait to hear every day one she would never hear again. Sky spun around but saw nobody."We died because of you!!!" a hand from behind gripped her shoulders and dug into her skin. Sky screamed out of fright but no words came out. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her but it felt like she was running through thick mud, her movement slows while the chill in the air nipped at her exposed skin. But she didn't slow down. She was getting nowhere through the blackness never ended it just kept going.She could still feel those hands on her, cold, colder than the air, and the stench of blood an

    "I'm so glad you came. when I didn't see you before the game started I was so sure you wouldn't show" Ace said gazing at her. These days he did that a lot, gazed at her, not look or stare, gaze. Whenever he looked at her like that it was like she was his world, he couldn't believe she was there or that someone like her existed. His look spoke of great adoration.Sky laughed and broke the staring game they had going on "I told you I would. and I always keep my word""So, what did you think about it??" It was intriguing. fascinating, I mean I'm not a sports person and I tried not to scream with the crowd in case I mistakenly cheered for the wrong team....and you... you're really good, aren't you?? Are you gonna go pro?"Ace stared at her, a soft look in his eyes, he was surprised at her overly enthusiastic expression "No, it's just a game I play for fun... But Tyler's going pro""yh he is, just like his dad" Tyler has wanted to go into professional basketball since he watched Michael J

  • Love simple, or is it?   Chapter 18

    Sky was getting frustrated, all the clothes in her closet were either on the floor or her bed, and she couldn't figure out what to wear. "What does one wear to a basketball game" she screams out in frustration to no one in particular. She was home alone, Uncle David was still on his work trip, Aunt Loren was at her weekend book club and Tyler already left for the game, Coach demanded that all the players be around at least 2 hours before the game began for some pep talks and mental warm ups. Sky fell onto her bed with a huff, she had less than two hours to get ready and be on her way but the only piece of garment she had on was her skin tone color sports bra and panties set.Her laptop made a beeping sound and she looked over to where she placed it on her desk which was partially covered in clothes too. It looked like someone was trying to face time her. Moving towards the device Sky picked up an extra large button-down shirt from the floor, she used it as a sleep shirt. She slipped

    Another week goes by after Sky apologizes to Ace. After the apology, everything just went back to normal between them, like it never even happened. Ace keeps to his word and stops trying to get Sky to open up about her secrets, although he's still extremely curious he wants to believe that In time she'll trust him and tell him all about it.....trust is not the only thing he'd like her to feel for him in time. Ace has noticed that his feelings for Sky don't seem to be going anywhere instead they're getting stronger. He looked for every opportunity to spend time with her, It started with tutoring, Ace was still helping Sky with her history even if she didn't really need the tutorials anymore. she was acing all her tests and had a good understanding of the course. They started hanging out outside of school, they do this so many times anyone who saw them could mistake them for a couple. Ace made it a habit to eat lunch with Sky every day at school, it could either be in the lunch room at

    "I shouldn't have ignored you, shouldn't have shut you out, I was wrong, you were only trying to be my friend and I took that for granted, took you for granted and I am sorry" Sky's eyes are watery at this point but she doesn't care.He takes large strides and he's in front of her. Ace feels a strong need to reach his hands out and cup her face, hug her even, take her in his arms and never let go. He knew he missed her, he could feel it in his bones, every day he didn't see her, every time he caught sight of her in the school's hallway just before she hid from him, every time his messages went unanswered, his phone calls ignore he felt like she took a part of him with her.....and the truth was....he didn't want it back."Are you ok?" Ace asked her or more like blurted out, concern evident on his face. His eyes were roaming the length of her body like he was searching for injuries."I haven't been Ok in a while now," Sky said with a small sad smile. This was the first time Sky tried re
